Does anyone have further details or an update? Is there a MACR available?

Johnson was with the 366th FG 391st FS and was in P-47 42-29324 A8-Z. MACR 11429 gives the location as 2 miles East of St.Vith. Let's hope that they manage to find him after all this time.

Hi Andy,

I have the MACR for this loss, where do you want it sent?
